Short Grain Brown Rice is whole grains and its bran of coating is left intact. The hull is removed but the germ and bran are left on the kernel. The light brown color of brown rice is caused by the presence of bran layers which are rich in minerals and vitamins, especially the B-complex group. The grains are beige and opaque and are more intense than white rice. Short grain brown rice is transparent, short, rounder, and thick shaped. Cooked brown rice has a slightly chewy texture and nut like flavor. After cooking it becomes shiny and sticky. This type of rice is great for stuffing, pilafs, salads, casseroles, and stir-fry dishes.
Gluten free and non-allergenic rice is perfect for many types of diets.
